My 'extremely bold prediction' that I posted over in the card discussion forum is that Nightscale Matriarch will the annoying Grimm Patron of WW. Didn't remove it immediately? Good luck dealing with infinite 3/3s.
edit: and it will be a tier 1 deck.
edit 2: 'Extremely Bold Prediction' #2 - with Potion of Madness rotating to Wild, and even losing Pint-Size Potion, I think there will be enough solid targets that Shadow Madness will be 2x in most Priest decks.

Don't mean to sound rude, but clearly you don't play wild too often (or at high ranks?). Wild is a mana cheating highroll format where Naga Sea Witch, Call to Arms, Barnes, and Voidcaller prevent you from playing anything that resembles a midrange or control deck.
Very few decks are playable right now in wild. You play hyper aggro, paladin, combo, or highroll. That's all I ever see anyway. Honestly I can't even play the format right now. It's just in a sad state, and as you've said, the Witchwood expansion will do little to change that.
Agreed, I used to love wild, but it's broken now and my renolock doesn't work anymore. I just play nagalock to rank 5+ before switching back to standard where the meta is slower and more diverse. Blizzard will need to make regular balance changes to wild if that format is to survive long term. They are watching naga, but ill believe it when it finally gets nerfed along with barnes and call to arms.
Um.. no. Pardon my french, but wild is a shit-show. Comparing standard to wild is pointless, it's literally 2 different games. Wild is full of ridiculously broken synergies and unfun decks, some may say the same about standard but it's on a much smaller scale. Standard will continue to be more popular due to rotations of sets, where as wild will have to deal with old sets and mechanics forever. You'd think the wild meta would be much more diverse, but then you play it and realize people are still playing absolutely broken decks that can beat anything. Blizzard uses it as a dumping ground for broken cards that they don't nerf. Have fun playing against Mysterious Challenger, Jade Idol, and Drakonid Operative whenever a new card fits into their respective decks.
My biggest problem with your post however, is that you failed to mention Naga+Giant decks. Does wild have a counter for that?
Naga broke wild and the only good counter is aggro and win by turn 5 or 6, something paladin does best. Big priest can win with Barnes or lightbomb. Aggro mage does well vs. giantlock, but loses hard to aggro pally. Wild is in serious need of nerfs if its to survive.
